2013's look sharp! - Page 3

I don't think the VV needs major cooling changes as the KAMS is still in it, would be nice if the other two would have it though....at least the Vaq. As far as the drivetrain goes, I rode a 2010 Nomad today and it felt significantly luggier (made up word, but it fits) than my 2012 so it seems when they said they changed the gearing up it was for the better so not sure if they should change it up.

Looking at the pics, nope no KAMS except for the VV still.

Mechanical changes ? I would say no.

dewey405 · 09-07-2012, 04:54 PM

No mechanical changes, they are exactly the same as the 2012s. I like the flat black, but yeah screw owning a black bike in OK...it would be black with red spots.

Dang, if they woulda had that flat black instead of gloss when I bought my red Vaquero, I would be riding a flat black! I even considered a used streetglide for 4k more than my new Vaquero because I love the matte / flat black. I also have thought about looking into a flat black wrap, get tired of it and peel off back to red

The red with flames does look hot wheels'ish, it OK but not for me. I bet someone could come up with a better looking flame job

I really like the Nomad black/ titanium. I think its the best looking of the 2013's. Hate the flat paint. Really hate the goofy flame decals on the Vaquero.

one thing about them being stuck on flames might be able to remove them and if you want flames have good ones painted on

I bet you they are stuck on with clear coat sprayed over top.

That's how the tank badge sticker is put on.

It's not primer. It's paint and clear.

It might as well be or put it another way, someone could rub shit all over the bike and spray clearcoat and it would sell...To someone.

I have no idea whose bike this is and I'm sure they're happy with it. Just thought it made Ponch's point that someone somewhere like anything. I found the pic online.....

I like the right aux light.

Looks like someone let the grandkids loose with paint in the garage ?

**crazygene49** · 09-08-2012, 11:25 PM

If the owner is happy, no harm done. I let my kids finger paint my Opel GT.

dewey405 · 09-08-2012, 11:38 PM

If those are his grandkids paint, he has adult grandkids painting his bikes, which quickly loses the cuteness factor lol
